Cruise on deserted coastal roads in your own Volkswagen campervan. Idyllic right? Even better is that you can now travel with a fully electric motorhome. There are more and more providers of these E-campervans, so choose the camper that suits you and hit the road!
With a camper you always have your transport and your overnight stay with you. This way you can get to remote places and deviate from the beaten track. It is therefore not surprising that the sale of motorhomes has increased enormously in recent years.
Now I’m lucky enough to borrow my in-laws’ motorhome. But no matter how handy it is, it cannot be called truly sustainable. He loves diesel and slurps quite a bit of it per kilometer. That’s why I searched for electric motorhome rental companies, below I share the results of my search!

Leavv: Peugeot e-Expert L3 motorhome
Charlotte and Robbert only started their company Leavv in 2021, with which they rent out brand new electric Peugeot motorhomes. ” We are passionate travelers ourselves, but we are also concerned about climate change. That is why we started a ‘green’ rental company with LEAVV.”
The campers can accommodate four people and are equipped with a kitchen including a refrigerator and crockery. The camper has a handy awning on the side and you can rent many useful extras at an additional cost, such as a bicycle carrier and a camping table with chairs. You can travel an unlimited number of kilometers, but you pay the costs for charging yourself. Incidentally, you can quickly charge the LEAVVs, which saves time. If you don’t have a charge card, you can rent one from LEAVV for €50.

Camptoo: ao Peugeot e-Expert camper
Thousands of motorhomes in the Netherlands are stationary for the majority of the year. A shame, thought Martijn Peeters. That is why he offers motorhome owners the opportunity to share their motorhome via his platform Camptoo. And now also electric motorhomes are offered!
The offer is not huge yet, there are currently three electric motorhomes on offer. The most luxurious option are the two brand new Peugeot e-Experts that can sleep four people. This camper has a well-equipped kitchen and even a chemical toilet. Also nice, your dog can travel with you!
Or rent the Nissan which is perfect for shorter trips due to its more limited range of 120km. You can sleep in it with two people and the camper has a small kitchen with a refrigerator, gas burner and sink.

In addition to the aforementioned campers, you will also find the Nissan E-camper ENV200 on GoBoony.

A nice side effect of traveling in all these sustainable e-campers is that you don’t have to take environmental zones into account. After all, the emissions are zero! What you have to take into account is that you map out your route in such a way that you pass a (fast) charging station on time. It is good to realize that you cannot charge every motorhome with a fast charger. The LEAVVs can do this, the evans, for example, cannot (yet).
